Generally, the Acquisition Fee payable to the Advisor shall be paid at the closing of the transaction upon receipt of the invoice by the Company. However, the Acquisition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Acquisition and Advisory Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

8.02 Asset Management Fees. The Company shall pay the Advisor as compensation for the services described in Section 3.03 hereof a monthly fee (the “Asset Management Fee”) in an amount equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the higher of (i) the cost or (ii) the value of each Property we acquire. For purposes of this Section, the cost of a Property will equal the amount actually paid or budgeted (excluding Acquisition and Advisory Fees and expenses) in respect of the purchase, construction or improvement of the Property, including the amount of any debt attributable to the asset (including debt encumbering the asset after its acquisition), the value of a Property will be the value established by the most recent independent valuation report with respect to such property, if any, without deduction for depreciation, bad debts, or other non-cash reserves. The Asset Management Fee will be based only on the portion of the cost or value attributable to the Company’s investment in an asset if the Company does not own all of the asset. The Advisor shall submit a monthly invoice to the Company, accompanied by a computation of the Asset Management Fee for the applicable period. The Asset Management Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset Management Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

8.03 Disposition Fees. If the Advisor or any of its Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by the Independent Directors) in connection with a Sale, the Advisor or such Affiliate shall receive a fee at the closing (the “Disposition Fee”) equal to the lesser of (i) (A) one-half of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid, (including the Disposition Fee) or (B) if no brokerage commission is paid to any third party, the amount customarily paid or (ii) 3.0% of the Contract Sales Price whichever is less. The payment of any Disposition Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Charter. The Advisor shall submit an invoice to the Company following the closing or closings of each disposition, accompanied by a computation of the Disposition Fee. The Disposition Fee may or may not be taken, in whole or in part, as to any year in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Disposition Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

8.04 Debt Financing Fees. In the event of any debt financing obtained or assumed by or for the Company or its Subsidiaries (and any Joint Ventures that are not Subsidiaries but for which the Advisor provides substantial services in connection with obtaining such debt financing), the Company will pay to the Advisor a debt financing fee equal to 1.0% of the amount available under the financing (the “Debt Financing Fee”). The payment of any Debt Financing Fees by the Company shall be subject to the limitations contained in the Charter. The Debt Financing Fee includes the reimbursement of the specified cost incurred by the Advisor of engaging third parties to source debt financing, and nothing herein shall prevent the Advisor from entering fee-splitting arrangements with third parties with respect to the Debt Financing Fee. All or any portion of the Debt Financing Fees not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be paid in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. In no event will the Debt Financing Fee be paid more than once in respect of the same debt. Upon refinancing, the Advisor would only receive 0.5% of the incremental amount of additional debt financing obtained in the refinancing.

ARTICLE 9.

environment in which the Advisor or Company operates that would increase significantly the level of services performed such that the costs and expenses borne by the Advisor for which the Advisor is not entitled to separate reimbursement for personnel and related employment direct costs and overhead under Article 9 of this Agreement would increase significantly, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

9.02 Timing of and Additional Limitations on Reimbursements.

(i) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and reimbursable pursuant to this Article 9 shall be reimbursed to the Advisor within ten (10) days of submission of an invoice and supporting documentation by Advisor.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything else in this Article 9 to the contrary, the expenses enumerated in this Article 9 shall not become reimbursable to the Advisor unless and until the Company has raised $1 million in the Initial Public Offering and funds held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement with UMB Bank, N.A. have been released to the Company.

(iii) Commencing four fiscal quarters after the Company’s acquisition of a Property, Joint Venture or Loan, the following limitation on Total Operating Expenses shall apply: the Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for Total Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors do not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Independent Directors determine such excess was justified, then, within sixty (60) days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total reimbursed Total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within sixty (60) days of such quarter end), together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess expenses were justified. The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

ARTICLE 10.

The Advisor agrees that, with respect to any Shares now or hereinafter owned by it or its Affiliates, the Advisor or its Affiliate, as the case may be, will not vote or consent on matters submitted to the Stockholders regarding (i) the removal of the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor or (ii) any transaction between the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates. This voting restriction shall survive until such time as neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor is serving as the Company’s external advisor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Directors are not deemed to be an Affiliate of the Advisor for the purposes of this Article.

ARTICLE 11.

RELATIONSHIP OF ADVISOR AND COMPANY; OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR

11.01 Relationship. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates. Nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any manager, director, officer, employee or equityholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other Person. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall promptly disclose to the

Board the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, that creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other Person.

11.02 Commitment of Time and Resources. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time and resources as shall be reasonably necessary to discharge the Advisor’s obligations to the Company in an appropriate manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.

11.03 Investment Opportunities and Allocation. The Advisor shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company that is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an investment opportunity is located, the allocation procedure set forth under the caption “Conflicts of Interest – Certain Conflict Resolution Measures – Resolution of Potential Conflicts of Interest in Allocation of Investment Opportunities” in the Registration Statement shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Company and Affiliates of the Advisor.

11.05 Relationship with Directors and Officers. Managers, Directors, officers and employees of the Advisor or any direct or indirect Affiliate of the Advisor may serve as a Director and as officers of the Company, except that no manager, director, officer or employee of the Advisor or any of its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall receive any compensation from the Company or Operating Partnership for serving as a Director or officer other than reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE 12.

THE XXXXXXX NAME

The Advisor, Xxxxxxx and their Affiliates have a proprietary interest in the name “Xxxxxxx”. The Advisor hereby grants to the Company a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive royalty-free right and license to use the name “Xxxxxxx” during the term of this Agreement. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain Xxxxxxx or an Affiliate thereof to perform the services of the Advisor, the Company (including the Operating Partnership, if formed) will, promptly after receipt of written request from Xxxxxxx, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Xxxxxxx” or any derivative thereof and the Company and the Operating Partnership shall change the name of the Company and the Operating Partnership to a name that does not contain the name “Xxxxxxx” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof. At such time, the Company will also make any changes to any trademarks, service marks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Xxxxxxx”. Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having “Xxxxxxx” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company or the Operating Partnership, if formed.
